FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

Iā€™m interested too. Thank you!

Im currently on the list for one light, i guess the xpl hi is choosen by default?
So i want one of each.
Please also add me to the list for one LH351D. Thank you.

In for one, Samsung LH351D 4000K 90CRI.

Thanks!

I posted before, but donā€™t see my name on the list. Iā€™m in for one of each. Thank you, and Iā€™m sorry if you just havenā€™t got around to updating the list yet.

The list hasnā€™t been updated yet !
When it is, your name will be on the list :+1:

Please put me down for an FW3A with the Samsung LH351D 4000K 90CRI emitters. :slight_smile:

Like the Jetbeam FL-12? It essentially ramps the two different LEDs up/down inversely to control output from 3000k to 5500k.

FWIW, the Viltrox L116T is a nice high-CRI light panel which can be powered by a wall adapter and mounted on a gooseneck thingy or tripod. It adjusts from 3300K to 5600K in 100K increments, and stays below the BBL the entire time.

Can also be battery powered, but I donā€™t use it that way.

Iā€™m already on the list but should I clarify which emitter now that thereā€™s two choices?

If so Iā€™d like one of the LH351D 4000K 90CRI please.

Patiently excited!!

Iā€™m also already on the list and would like to have one of each emitter.

This looks nice. Put me down for 1 please.

Here is a built video of a bench / desk lamp with a Viltrox

Ah, I saw that when it came out. I could definitely use a light like that for soldering and making videos.

Iā€™m in for one. Please add me to the list.

I believe the solution is standardization. If thereā€™s common BT API thatā€™s used by many different lights and any app can control any light - the problems with manufacturer stopping updates is gone.
Nowā€¦maybe there is such standard already, just designed for a different class of lights? Smart light bulbs for example?

Standardization such as all flashlights use one UI? Not likely to happen.

No. No one UI. Use one way to talk with Bluetooth controllers, so any compatible controller knows how to turn on any compatible light. Or how to dim it down etc. The light can have any UI. So can the controller.

And not all of them - just enough to not have to fear about the standard dying out.

If you want a standardized bluetooth interface which isnā€™t likely to die out, about the only way that can happen is to make an open-source driver with open-source firmware, get a couple brands to use it, and find someone willing to keep companion apps updated on several platforms. It might be doable within a year or two if someone was motivated enough to do it.

For now though, Iā€™m mostly just trying to get companies on board with the idea of working with the community, and building a common firmware platform which supports a variety of hardware and a variety of user interfaces. Basically, trying to make it possible to do with flashlights what we do with computers ā€” let the users mix and match hardware and software as desired.

Nothing to say about Bluetooth.

Howā€™s the FW3A ?

I have started ordering extras

Can I be added to the list for 1 with the LH351D emitters please?
